@republicson3yrs3Y
Yes, mandatory for government institutions. Optional for private institutions.
@593WD9Z5yrs5Y
No, businesses should be able to hire whoever they feel is the best candidate regardless of skin color or race
@8RSTXFT4yrs4Y
No, the experience and skill of a person should be the only factors that determine a person's eligibility to be hired.
@658YHVJ4yrs4Y
Minority groups should be better represented in the interview stage, but the best candidate -- regardless of race -- should be selected in the end
@8BYLJPN5yrs5Y
No, I don't think representation should be prioritized. You simply choose who is most fit for the job. THAT is the priority.
@7ZL7KQZ4yrs4Y
No, Everyone should be treated equally regardless of race.
@8CN7P7L4yrs4Y
Everyone should be treated equally no matter their Religion, Race, Ethnicity, or Sex.
@8HVHMHT4yrs4Y
Minority groups deserve to be heard, but they shouldn't have more sway than larger groups because that isn't fair to the majority of the population. Fair treatment should always be put in place, and it's unfair to have a drastic increase in the representation of minority groups.
@8L24MD54yrs4Y
No, because Affirmative Action can potentially hurt minorities more because they are unprepared.
@eleemoore4yrs4Y
No. In instances where individuals would be more successful achieving at the level they are prepared for, affirmative action harms its recipient.
@kaparker4yrs4Y
Yes, but only for ones who meet qualifications for said service, job, education, etc
@8SWHDST4yrs4Y
No, admission should be based on whoever is qualified. Race, Gender, religion should not play a role in the decision.
@8Z6PZKW3yrs3Y
No, unless they change it to be based on socioeconomic class
